ok, I know it's about almost too late to write this note, but I promised and still want to... so here is the second part of this note...
last we speak, B and Andy had just left Museum Bank Mandiri for Museum Nasional..
we took busway to get there... and all along the way, we kept on being quite a neck breaker... no, not because we started to look like a real foreigner.. it's only because we're still wearing our sunglasses.. LOL.. (I wonder why it seems so weird here to wear sunglasses... considering our striking sun...)
back to the story.. we got off the bus at Monumen Nasional stop... it was right in front of the museum nasional... (oh, btw, in case any of you doesn't know yet, museum nasional is museum gajah....) and yet I wonder again why the bus stop was named Monumen Nasional while it's still about half a kilometres away from Monas' entrance, yet it's right in front of Museum Nasional....
we entered the Museum's gate, and took just few picture around the front yard... and not to forget speaking in English while doing so... now, the souvenir seller that heard us talking instantly assumed that we're foreign tourists... VOILA! and the museum's staff that hear the souvenir guy talking in English to us also instantly assumed that we're foreign tourists.... another voila...! xD
so we succeeded buying the ticket in english,,
and we look down at the ticket,,
and at the price.........
"harga tiket masuk dewasa: Rp 750
harga tiket masuk anak-anak: Rp 250"
no. way.
this is way to cheap!!!
and B seems to agree even more to me in this!
and she is a Chinese...! she's supposed to be, mm, scrooge? haha, LOL... just kidding...
anyway, this turn out to be the best museum we went to today...
started by a psycho king statue that stand on a pile of skulls and have Buddha on it's head,,

then off to accessories store.. ups, I mean ancient accessories display, that looks a lot like what we wear today... (and they say we have the LATEST fashion?)
and as it turns out, they have miniature houses that looks a lot like the real one,, and it's AS BIG AS the ones in taman mini! look look...!
well, then again, what I meant is it was as big as 1/20 of the ones in taman mini... xP LOL
and then, we went to various rooms, got followed by local-sundanese-talking kids that seems to believe that we're foreigners... so we go to other room, which happen to display traditional clothings and masks and so on... in the middle of admiring (and giggling at times (don't ask why, there's just always something funny to find in those traditional thingy)) those local-sundanese-talking kids APPROACH US!!
they asked if they can take a picture with us
holy shit! huahahahahahahaha.....! finally, somebody, some people in fact, believe that we're actually foreigners, so much that they want to take picture with us....
well, since they've annoyed us (read: me) for a while then, we (read: I) neglected to ask for another picture with them to be taken by our cameras.... so, no picture for you guys..... sorry...
anyway, we then go further into that room, and while B said that this is her most favourite room of all,, I, on the other hand, notice 3 things about this room...
first: it's porno
second: it's bluntly porno
third: it's unbelievably porno..
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT STATUE DOING???
good God... and she said this is her favourite room.... hmmm...
anyway, enough with the porno room... we're off to the other part of the museum now! yeay! the one that's connected by the glass bridge.... the one that seems kinda exiting (because this part has a big banner outside it...)
and just when we're opening the door to the bridge,,
a security staff is already there to greet us,,
and he said:
"maaf mba, kita mau tutup dulu buat makan siang......"
................
"sorry? what? I don't understand a word you said..."
...........
@!#$%^&%$#@%(*@^#&$*&^@%^&#%*$^&^@$&#$^!!!!!
DAMN!
ok... since we were foreign tourists, and foreign tourists are polite (or so we assumed), we gave up trying to get more of this museum, and off to find something to eat.... meanwhile, the nearest restaurant around is in sarinah... so we went there, gave up our English-speaking manner, and ate at hot planet.... haha!
and once we sat down, somehow the willingness to continue the journey kinda evaporated... and this is why we ended up not going to Monas.... LOL... we're both such procrastinator that often ended up not doing things... so hot planet is the last place we went to...
while sitting there, chatting, we realize one thing,,
there are so many things we can do in only half a day...
and hadn't we went on the journey that day, the only things we'd most likely have done would only be taking a bath and going to campus.... so much for the overrated education.. xP
it was such a fun day... not exactly relaxing, not physically... but definitely was a very nice getaway...
you should try that someday... while we both here are also looking forward to other journeys.. oh! and we also welcome anyone who'd like to join us...
anyway, this is the only picture that has both of us...
(most of the time we took only each others' pic)
greetings, Andy and B
